I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 901: Chapter 901 This is Tactics

The hot spring trip was planned for 3 days.

Chen Lun’s affair did not change everyone’s itinerary, but on the second day, Yu Jingting had someone pick up Chen Lun and send him directly to the Working School.

It was the same one that Chen Tong attended, where the instructor had already been bribed before. This time sending another one there was a path well tread.

Chen Lun’s parents were beside themselves with anger, yet they couldn’t defy Yu Jingting. They watched their son being taken away, and the couple lost interest in continuing their trip, hurriedly following the car back home.

Suizi was very curious about Liu Meimei’s reaction.

Normal people, caught in an affair, would be so ashamed they would want to flee.

She had even prepared for the possibility that if Liu Meimei wanted to return, she would arrange a separate car to take her back, so she wouldn’t have to go with the Chen Lun’s family, to avoid embarrassment.

But that didn’t happen.

Liu Meimei only stayed out of sight during communal meals, locking herself in her room and claiming she felt unwell.

Only at night, when nobody was around, would she go enjoy the hot springs cheerfully with the two fellow students who knew nothing of the scandal.

Suizi enjoyed a lovely soak in the hot spring bath and then sat by the window to admire the view.

It was already early evening, almost time for dinner.

She didn’t see much scenery, but she did see Liu Meimei and the two female students walking towards the pool, laughing and talking.

As they happened to encounter Chen Lijun, Liu Meimei stopped and politely greeted her.

"Pfft," Suizi laughed.

Yu Jingting wrapped his arms around her from behind, asking lazily,

"What are you laughing at?"

"Look at mom’s expression," Suizi said, nodding towards where Chen Lijun was.

Chen Lijun looked on, dumbfounded, as Liu Meimei walked away. Suizi could even imagine her mother’s thoughts: How could there be such a shameless person in this world?

Chen Lijun, who had been managing people for most of her life, rarely encountered anyone with such thick skin.

This truly epitomized that saying, "As long as she isn’t embarrassed, everyone else is!"

"Ah..." Yu Jingting sighed.

Suizi looked at him strangely. What was there to sigh about all of a sudden?

"Mom will probably come over to vent to you soon. Our discussion on the origin of life will have to wait until later tonight," Yu Jingting said with a hint of complaint as he got dressed, while Suizi simply shrugged.

Sure enough, it wasn’t three minutes before Chen Lijun knocked on the door.

"Get her out of here quick! What sort of nonsense is all this!" Chen Lijun burst in, cursing.

"Why so upset?" Suizi gave Yu Jingting a look, hinting at him to go out and find some people to play mahjong with. It was woman-to-woman time now.

"I was sitting behind the tree, taking a rest. Can you guess what I overheard?"

Chen Lijun was livid.

She had actually heard Liu Meimei bad-mouthing Jiaojiao to the two girls.

"She didn’t mention a word about her own disgraceful deeds, instead saying that our Jiaojiao was getting too cozy with Little Fatty, and that Jiaojiao told her that she was betrothed to Little Fatty in a child marriage or something—I simply couldn’t bear to listen to it anymore."

Although Chen Lijun had seen her share of gossipmongers, those were all adults. It was appalling to find such a young child with a heart as black as coal.

"So why didn’t you jump out and scold her then? I saw you even greeted her," Suizi teased with a smile.

Chen Lijun’s eyes widened.

"What’s my status? Should I, in front of two children, start a fight with another child?"

"When someone does something wrong, does it matter if they are an adult or a child? You should call them out then and there, come back and review it later. If you want to regret not speaking up, there’ll be nowhere to do so."

Having followed Yu Jingting for so many years, this was the most useful thing Suizi had learned.

"In the past few years, every time I argued with someone, I didn’t know what to say at the moment. Later on, when I thought about it, I always felt that I didn’t perform well. But wanting to argue again wasn’t possible, and I always ended up sulking in private. Afterward, I memorized some universal phrases for arguing in advance."

When you don’t know what to argue about, arbitrarily applying them is also effective.

Suizi shared her experience with Chen Lijun with seriousness, which amused her greatly.

"How come you’re becoming more and more like Jingting? If this were before, you definitely would have said it’s not worth arguing with that kind of person."

"That’s because I couldn’t keep up with my words before, so I had to say that, didn’t I? I don’t think so now. Mom, I’ve realized a truth."

The expression on Suizi’s face gave Chen Lijun a vaguely familiar feeling.

"True love for someone requires losing oneself in the loved one, but this very act of losing oneself can help one find oneself and possess oneself anew. This is something said by the thinker Fei Qinuo from Y Country. When I first read it, I didn’t understand, but now I do."

No wonder this feeling was so familiar! Chen Lijun remembered, wasn’t this the familiar flavor of showing off love?!

"It’s not that Jingting has influenced me, but that I found myself in him; maybe I was always supposed to be like this." Suizi touched her face.

Chen Lijun felt as if her teeth were going to fall out from the sweetness. Just as she was about to tease her, Yu Jingting came in through the door, just in time to hear that sentence.

He took the opportunity to continue the conversation: "My wife is a one-of-a-kind beauty, gentle as water, having garnered wisdom from many, unparalleled under the heavens."

Suizi nodded modestly, keeping a low profile, staying low-key.

Chen Lijun shook her head.

"It’s terrible, Yu Jingting has started to speak in flowery language that doesn’t sound like human speech."

Could this terrible, vinegary smell of love be corroding and influencing each other?

"Oh, then I’ll use a description that’s not flowery—my wife, she’s damn beautiful."

"..."

Chen Lijun covered her mouth, unable to take it any longer and walked outside.

She couldn’t stay in the room, the smell was too overpowering! It could easily cause pregnancy reactions.

Yu Jingting waved warmly to his mother-in-law, See you later~

He turned around and gave Suizi a hug.

"Wife, you see, my plan to clear the room was successful. There’s still some time before dinner, so why don’t we—"

"Jingting! Why are you taking so long to get some change? Hurry up, we’re one short!"

Someone called out from outside.

Yu Jingting cursed under his breath and quickly kissed her before dragging Suizi by the arm to leave.

"I could just take the change from the bag, I don’t need to go, right?" Suizi still wanted to stay in the room and read her book.

"You sit there and be my lucky goddess."

This lucky goddess truly did have some effect.

As soon as Suizi sat down, the Fourth Master couldn’t cheat anymore because Suizi, with the energy she put into studying, began to memorize the cards.

With her memorizing the cards, the situation began to tilt. It shifted from the Fourth Master’s family winning to Yu Jingting winning until his hands were sore, making it tough for the other three families.

The Fourth Master was a thief with a conscience who would let everyone win something every now and then, but Yu Jingting was relentless, not giving anyone a chance.

The most detestable part was, he didn’t just win the cards; he also attracted hatred. His mouth was like a machine gun, firing constantly.

Finally, he was kicked off the card table, not allowed to play anymore.

Facing Suizi’s teasing gaze, Yu Jingting nonchalantly smoothed his hair.

"See? This is strategy! If I didn’t do this, how would I find time to be with you and the kids?"
